Natural radioactivity in sediment of Wei River,China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Xinwei Lu  Xiaolan Zhang  Fengling Wang 《Environmental Geology》2008,53(7):1475-1481

The concentrations of natural radionuclides in sediment of Wei River of China were measured using γ-ray spectrometry with the aim of estimating the radiation hazard as establishing a database for radioactivity levels of river sediment of China. The activity concentrations of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K in sediment samples ranged from 10.4 to 39.9 Bq kg⁻¹, 15.3 to 54.8 Bq kg⁻¹ and 514.8 to 1,175.5 Bq kg⁻¹, respectively. The concentrations of these radionuclides were compared with the typical world values and the average activities of Chinese soil and Shaanxi soil. Radium equivalent activity (Ra_eq), external hazard index (H _ex) and representative level index (I _γr) were calculated for the samples to assess the radiation hazards arising due to the use of these sediment samples in the construction of dwellings. All the sediment samples have Ra_eq lower than the limit of 370 Bq kg⁻¹, H _ex less than unity and I _γr close to 1 Bq kg⁻¹. The overall mean outdoor terrestrial gamma dose rate is 64.8 nGy h⁻¹ and the corresponding outdoor annual effective dose is 0.079 mSv. None of the studied location is considered a radiological risk and sediment can be safely used in construction.  相似文献

Gamma activity from the naturally occurring radionuclides namely, ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, the primordial radionuclide ⁴⁰K was measured in the soil of Cuihua Mountain National Geological Park, China using γ-ray spectrometry technique. The mean activity of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K were found to be 27.2 ± 6.5, 43.9 ± 6.2 and 653.1 ± 127.6 Bq kg⁻¹, respectively. The concentrations of these radionuclides were compared with the typical world values and the average activities of Chinese soil. The radium equivalent activity, the air absorbed dose rate, the annual effective dose rate, and the external hazard index were evaluated and compared with the internationally approved values. All the soil samples have Ra_eq lower than the limit of 370 Bq kg⁻¹ and H _ex less than unity. The overall mean outdoor terrestrial gamma dose rate is 66.3 nGy h⁻¹ and the corresponding outdoor annual effective dose is 0.081 mSv.  相似文献   

利用辐射数据构建云物理结构     

霍娟 《大气科学》2018,42(5):1013-1022

本文运用CloudSat卫星上搭载的雷达探测数据和AQUA卫星搭载的辐射光谱仪探测数据,选择2007年1月至2010年12月期间,地理位置位于（15°~45°N,145°~165°E）区域内（远海）发生的云场数据开展分析,研究云的物理结构特征与其光谱辐射特性的相互关系。不同光谱波段对云物理结构变化的响应情况各有不同,首先从MODIS光谱仪22个云相关光谱波段中分析并选择出与云物理结构特征密切相关的光谱组合（包含13个波段）,而后开展了这些光谱波段的云辐射特性与云物理结构特征的相互变化关系研究。统计分析表明,在外部大气、地表条件以及太阳入射辐射变化不大情况下,云的结构变化与其光谱辐射变化之间总体存在单调相关关系,物理结构变化不大的云廓线之间其光谱辐射的变化也小,反之也成立,即光谱辐射变化小的云廓线之间物理结构变化也小。从而,对于某些内部物理结构特征未知的云,利用与其光谱辐射特性相近的云结构数据可实现自身垂直结构信息的重建。基于光谱辐射相近则云物理结构很可能相近的特点,本文对未知云场的物理结构重建开展了模拟试验,试验结果表明光谱相近原则匹配物理结构的方法一定程度上能够实现云物理结构的构建,为利用被动遥感数据推测云物理结构特征研究提供参考。  相似文献

Small-Amplitude Disturbances in a Radiating and Scattering Grey MediumIII. Gravitational Effects on the Solutions of Given Real Wave Number k     

Noboru Kaneko  Kazuhiko Morita 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2006,305(4):349-376

We study the fundamental modes of radiation hydrodynamic linear waves that arise from one-dimensional small-amplitude initial fluctuations with wave number k in a radiating and scattering grey medium by taking into account the gravitational effects. The equation of radiative acoustics is derived from three hydrodynamic equations, Poisson’s equation, and two moment equations of radiation, by assuming a spherical symmetry for the matter and radiation and by using the Eddington approximation. We solve the dispersion relation as a quintic function of angular frequency ω, the wave number k being a real parameter. Numerical results reveal that wave patterns of five solutions are distinguished into three types: the radiation-dominated, type 1, and type 2 matter-dominated cases. In the case of no gravitaional effects (Kaneko et al., 2005), the following wave modes appear: radiation wave, conservative radiation wave, entropy wave, Newtonian-cooling wave, opacity-damped and cooling-damped waves, constant-volume and constant-pressure diffusions, adiabatic sound wave, cooling-damped and drag-force-damped isothermal sound waves, isentropic radiation-acoustic wave, and gap mode. Meanwhile, the gravitaional effects being taken into account, the growing gravo-diffusion mode newly arises from the constant-pressure diffusion at the point that k agrees with Jeans’ wave number specified by the isothermal sound speed. This mode changes to the growing radiation-acoustic gravity mode near the point that k becomes Jeans’ wave number specified by the isentropic radiation-acoustic speed. In step with a transition between them, the isentropic radiation-acoustic wave splits into the damping radiation-acoustic gravity mode and constant-volume diffusion. The constant-volume diffusion emerges twice if the gravitational effects are taken into account. Since analytic solutions are derived for all wave modes, we discuss their physical significance. The critical conditions are given which distinguish between radiation-dominated and type 1 matter-dominated cases, and between type 1 and type 2 matter-dominated cases. Waves in a self-gravitating scattering grey medium are also analyzed, which provides us some hints for the effects of energy and momentum exchange between matter and radiation.  相似文献   

Neutron irradiation and post-irradiation annealing of rutile (TiO2−x ): effect on hydrogen incorporation and optical absorption     

Geoffrey David Bromiley  Andrei A. Shiryaev 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(6):426-434

Neutron irradiation and post-irradiation annealing under oxidising and reducing conditions have been used to investigate H incorporation in, and the optical properties of, reduced (TiO_2−x ) rutile. Optical absorption in rutile is mainly due to a Ti³⁺ Ti⁴⁺ intervalence charge transfer effect. The main mechanism for H incorporation in rutile involves interstitial H not coupled to other defects, which has important implications for the rate of H diffusion, and possibly also on the electrical properties of rutile. Additional minor OH absorption bands in IR spectra indicate that a small amount of interstitial H is coupled to defects such as Ti³⁺ on the main octahedral site, and indicates that more than one H incorporation mechanism may operate. Concentration of oxygen vacancies has a controlling influence on the H affinity of rutile.  相似文献

城市下垫面反照率变化对北京市热岛过程的影响——个例分析   总被引：13，自引：1，他引：13  

江晓燕  张朝林高华　苗世光 《气象学报》2007,65(2):301-307

随着城市的不断发展,城区地表反照率等下垫面物理特征和属性会发生明显的变化,进而会对城市热岛等大气环境形成影响。文中使用中国气象科学研究院开发的新一代数值天气预报模式(GRAPES),针对2004年10月北京一次重空气污染事件中的典型城市热岛过程,分别设计了两种数值试验方案:(1)对照试验,使用模式缺省的城区下垫面反照率参数,取值0.18;(2)敏感性试验,参考同期中国科学院大气物理研究所铁塔280m高度下垫面反照率观测事实,将北京区域城市类型下垫面反照率减小至0.15。通过对比两种试验方案在1km水平分辨率下的24h模拟结果,研究了城市下垫面反照率变化对北京地区城市热岛过程的影响。结果表明:(1)GRAPES模式可成功模拟此次热岛过程中城区和郊区近地面温度的日变化趋势;(2)城市下垫面反照率的变化对城市热岛的发展非常重要,城市反照率下降0.03会使城市热岛强度增强0.8℃左右,结果也更接近实况。这说明随着城市发展引起的地表反照率减小有利于城市热岛强度增加;(3)通过分析地表的长波辐射发现,在城市区域较小反照率情形下,城区的长波辐射始终比郊区大,有利于热岛的形成;同时也有利于城区近地层的风场辐合增加,对此次污染过程的发展是有利的。  相似文献
